I'm not sure this is the right place to post, but I'm a relative newcomer (other than a battle or 2 pre-2.0 before I decided not for me), and I don't want to clog up the support system (such as it (currently) is).

If anyone knows anything on this or can help, please add or correct me, but when you get a CTD, it looks as though 3 files are generated in %appdata%->wargaming.net->World of Warplanes (for those unfamiliar, %appdata% a generic windows system location that differs from PC to PC, but typing this in the Windows Explorer address bar will always take you to yours). To help, when you get to %appdata% look for a folder called wargaming.net, then within that World of Warplanes (could vary slightly depending on your install names), then within that a folder called logs.

Within the logs folder, you'll get 3 files when you crash (sort the folder on column 'date modified' to make it easy to see ordered time stamps for files):

2) A .dmp file (format YYMMDD_[unique ID].dmp), contains info that I can't read (memory dump?) or in some (most?) cases nothing at all (file has size 0).

3) A .log file (format as above but ending in .log extension), containing logged events since you loaded WoWP, at the end of the file you should find something indicating the reason for the crash, which in my case matched what was in the crash.tmp file:

With this info, I've at least a place to start looking for why I'm out of memory on a system with 8GB.

I'm not looking for specific help on my issue here (it's likely a mod), rather if anyone can suggest or point or add to what I'm finding here (and given obvious difficulty getting through to support over Christmas).

Catch21, I'm seeing the same; however, I have 16gb RAM and been watching via task manager. My WoWP never uses/d more than 3gb of this memory. Total system usage at time of crashes is 20-30% CPU (4690K@4.3ghz) and 15-18% of memory. FWIW, I am using a GTX1060 w/6gb.

you oughtta see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane like a '52. VRROOM! There's jet exhaust, fryin' chickens in the barnyard.

OK here's the deal (I posted @ Reddit too, since the same issue is there), some of this may help others, at least in diagnosis. I crash once in every 5-10 games, no rhyme or reason I can tell, it just says 'no' and crashes. But when you have a crash the system will (should?) write the following files in %appdata%\wargaming.net[YOUR WORLD OF WARPLANES DIRECTORY]\logs:

​

crash.tmp - the immediate cause of the problem with the name of a .dmp file into which program state is dumped.

The .dmp file as above

A .log file which contains information on the WoP session until the crash.

You can read these using a text editor like Notepad++ (the .dmp file is indecipherable though without programming tools). In my latest crash (.tmp file) I see:

I'm running with an overclocked G3258 CPU (3.9GHz), 8 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 750 TI GC (driver updated)- Windows 10 64 Bit. With Speccy running for temps (CPU gets to 60 never more, GC always OK) and Task Manager for processes I can see no bottlenecks. At CPU stock speed still crashes. If I look at the .log file I see:

which matches what the crash.tmp file is saying, but indicates it's a memory problem perhaps with DirectX (I'm using version 12)? Nvidia's GE Force has supposedly optimized settings for the game, but since it mentions (and I think atm this is the problem) "Particle system graphics option is higher than current graphics settings options." I'm going to try setting this down in game settings today and see what happens. That or it's a WoP program error.

If anyone has any other ideas (or wants more information to help), please let me know. If a WG support person sees this, I have copies of all 3 files for every crash (I'll mail support post-2017), the 3 files diagnosis part might help others. Thanks.
